Banks County Schools is proud to announce that we will be partnering with ESE Telehealth for the upcoming school year. This partnership will enable students to participate in acute and mental healthcare through telehealth capabilities. We understand the obstacles many of our families encounter in accessing ongoing healthcare for our students.
